Lucy's discovery

I found this analogy enlightening, and I thought I should share it with you:


“Aslan,” said Lucy, “you're bigger.”
“That is because you are older, little one,” answered he.
“Not because you are?”
“I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”

(Excerpt from 'Prince Caspian' – Chapter 10)

"Truth always endures. Truth conveyed through a sanctified imagination becomes brighter and clearer, leading those who follow 'further up and further in' to God’s glorious presence." 
-- Peter Kreeft, speaking of C.S. Lewis' portrayal of knowing Christ

"People are crying out for God to reveal Himself. The problem with the world, as in Lewis's book, is that people want God revealed on their terms and in accordance with their pre-expectant definitions.
"But, God does not live according to our expectations. It is only when we realize that we must view God on His terms and in accordance with His wishes, that we begin to see the smallest part of who He is. Over time we discover more and more of what we have missed in the time we wasted trying to define God by what we want instead of who He is.
"For it is not a matter of discovering God, but recognizing that He is discovering us and helping us to see ourselves as He intended us to be.

--Michael McLarney, Christian writer and author



So, in summary, the more you find out about Christ, the more you will find that you don't know! God only gets bigger and bigger the better you get to know Him. Awesome, eh?
